Things are moving at Codemasters

 

[Peter Hooper]

Hey guys, I think I managed to pull a fast one and if this can be put back to 9:30 I should be able to make it... No worries if not though ok.

 

[Michael Watts]

Wow, don't know about you, Railer and Robert but I woke up to snow this morning. Complete surprise. I have to melt the snow off the dish if I want to watch Qualifying today.

 

[Railer Cantrell]

It's just cold and 31 no snow here saw a couple of snow flakes just windy today with 40 mph gusts. Had to quickly take all halloween decorations down during rain last night now to dry everything before putting it back in the boxes.

 

[Railer Cantrell]

For Peter to make this race, I will DVR my beloved Philadelphia Flyers game and race at Peters time schedule.
Robert just let us know what time so I won't be late for it.

 

[Michael Watts]

We've got about 3" of snow here and its coming down like a blizzard, almost a complete whiteout. My kids were out trick-or-treating last night so the roads are too warm for it to stick there.

 

[Michael Watts]

That's true if everyone drives loaners there you can't run your Liveries, only the ones the AI's do. I kind of like creating custom liveries.

 

[Rob]

That's freaking crazy. In South Carolina? I'm stunned. It's cold here but not like that.

 

[Michael Watts]

Earliest ever recorded snowfall, in SOUTH Carolina... WTF? Imagine my surprise when I woke up!
Surprised you're not getting any up there in NC, Robert.

 

[Rob]

For Peter to make this race, I will DVR my beloved Philadelphia Flyers game and race at Peters time schedule.
Robert just let us know what time so I won't be late for it.

Flyers?!?! Railer, you have 81 other games to watch. lol. At 0-5-2, are my Hurricanes done? Rumors have them moving. That would suck.

Peter, I don't know what every one else is doing, but I'm going to risk being called a rule breaker and wait for you regardless. It's just not right to run this without you. I'd do the same for Chris or Railer. If we don't see you by 6pm or so, we'll have some fun on our own (or not) and pick another day.

 

[Michael Watts]

The points battle is so close it will be interesting to see how it turns out. On another note I'm hoping Hamilton can lock down his second championship this weekend at COTA.

Karl, try:
0
+100
+50
+50
+50
-50
Is pretty close to what im running.

this makes me slower.....

 

[Rob]

this makes me slower.....

This will make you even slower. My setup:
-10
+100
+60
+60
0
+20

But if I had quarters, it would be just as fast/slow
0
+100
+50
+50
0
0

 

[Karl Fuss]

i can't drive this circuit with an open diff.... it's too loose

 

[Rob]

Actually I think mine was best at 0. But I needed the cornering to compensate for the lack of low gear, because when I change gears, I tend to spin.

 

[Michael Watts]

Interesting, looks like everyone's setup is going to differ quite a bit.

 

[Peter Hooper]

My run yesterday I any with:
-30
+50
+50
+30(I think)
+70
+70

What kind of times are you running with that Peter? Other than the Diff that's pretty close to what I'm running.

 

[Peter Hooper]

Only run the one session Michael and best was a 2:07 but wasn't really pushing at all. It's nice and stable for a comfortable long drive

 

[Rob]

9:30pm Peter/Chris time start. If Peter is not there, we run some laps and wait. I could use some warm up anyway.

 

[Karl Fuss]

so, now i'm supposed to go to my sister-in-laws for dinner tonight.... might not see very much of this race. My wife wants to leave around 5:30. I'll get on and do as much as i can....
